If you try to use the '87-'88 Fiero heater return (or supply in this case) connection on the right coolant pipe, you will not have heater circulation until the thermostat opens. This sucks on a cold winter day. I swapped my '87 right side coolant pipe and heater pipes for the right side coolant pipe and heater pipes from an '86 and plumbed the heater core to the original connections on the Northstar. Getting heat on a cold winter morning took 1/3 as long as it did using the '87 heater return connection. |

I recently installed a 87 coolant pipe in my 85, but I cut the nipple off and welded it on the front end of the pipe directly under the heater core. long term, when I swap an LZ9 into my car (a decade or more from now I hope...) I'll add a second nipple at the engine, that way I retain the heater, and ditch one of the tubes under the car.

ericjon262 I took a look at the heater hose mod you described. sounds like a good idea. hope you don't mind if I steal the idea. Rickady88GT I'd like to hear it too, but I have an interior to inststall first. Hard to turn the key when it isn't there.

Any one know where I can get new ones? They are the heater tube mounting brackets.
Thanks

I'd love to know the PN...
But there are any number of dual tube clamps on the market.
I was expecting to use two P-Clamps to secure mine in a place on the firewall that needs low profile mounting due to proximity to the alternator.

Time for the stupid question of the day, from top to bottom in this photo, which hose connections are for what? I am assuming they are fuel feed to engine, fuel return to tank , and vent, although not necessarily in that order.
Thanks,
Daryl

Large (3/8") is fuel supply to filter.
Medium (5/16") is fuel return from fuel rail
Small (1/4") is the vent tube to expansion or charcoal canister.

The double clamp is the fuel line single clamped hose is return the one without a hose is your vent. I just did a fuel pump on my car and drove it for the first time since September. I am sooo happy.

I found the attached link while searching for other info and recognized it as the maker of the exhaust flanges I'm considering purchasing for my own project. Someone inquired about standalone engine management for the 3.6L although I do not recall who and this appears to be a source although I have not confirmed it given the date of the video. I may give them a call and inquire about what muffler they used on the test stand LLT, which sounds nice and cammed.
